An international history of the uncanny in the 1920s and 1930s. The interwar period was a golden age for the occult. Spiritualists, clairvoyants, fakirs, Theosophists, mind readers, and Jinn summoners all set out to assure the masses that just as newly discovered invisible forces of electricity and magnetism determined the world of science, unseen powers commanded an unknown realm of human potential Drawing on untapped sources in Arabic in addition to European ones, Raphael Cormack follows two of the most unusual and charismatic figures of this age: Tahra Bey, who took 1920s Paris by storm in the role of a missionary from the mystical East; and Dr. Dahesh, who transformed Western science to create a panreligious faith of his own in Lebanon. Traveling between Paris, New York, and Beirut while guiding esoteric apprenticeships among miracle-working mystics in Egypt and Istanbul, these men reflected the desires and anxieties of a troubled age. As Cormack demonstrates, these forgotten holy men, who embodied the allure of the unexplained in a world of dramatic change, intuitively speak to our unsettling world today Raphael Cormack is an award-winning editor, translator, and writer.

En el episodio de hoy me siento con Ángel Otero, artista plástico contemporáneo puertorriqueño que ha expuesto su obra en museos y galerías de Nueva York, Los Ángeles, Londres, Hong Kong, Istanbul, Suiza y España.Ángel me cuenta cómo fueron sus años creciendo en Bayamón, el rol que tuvo su abuela en su crianza, sus años en la Universidad de Puerto Rico, Recinto Río Piedras, antes de mudarse a estudiar en Chicago, cómo la curiosidad ha sido el motor de su carrera y el accidente creativo que lo llevó a desarrollar la técnica que definiría su obra: los "oil skins".También hablamos sobre el reto de equilibrar la autenticidad con las exigencias del mercado del arte, por qué la "memoria" es un ser vivo que cambia con el tiempo, la vulnerabilidad en su proceso y el valor de devolverle a la comunidad que lo vio crecer.Tres "takeaways" de este episodio:1.⁠ ⁠“Buen arte debe tener un cierto sentido de problema y diálogo.”2.⁠ "Lo más duro es manejar el mundo del arte sin que eso altere la honestidad con la que trabajas en tu estudio.”3.⁠ "Me gusta confiar en la ignorancia.”Sigue a Ángel:Página Web | InstagramNo olvides suscribirte a nuestro canal de Youtube.

Grab your sour-patch straws, stop sour punching your straw, and join us as we slip into the impeccably tailored, morally dubious world of The Man from U.N.C.L.E., where Henry Cavill smirks his way through the Cold War and Armie Hammer glowers in various shades of “angry Russian.” We talk about the opening Berlin chase, the world's suavest tablecloth yank, and why Guy Ritchie clearly decided style was more important than historical accuracy—or sometimes, basic physics. Also, everyone is ridiculously good-looking, and yes, we noticed. Repeatedly. Somewhere between the CIA, the KGB, and whatever Hugh Grant is doing in this movie, there's a plot about nuclear warheads, a fake engagement, and a fashion show that doubles as spycraft. We pick apart the “unlikely partners” dynamic, try to decide if Gaby is the actual MVP, and get distracted by the soundtrack every time Roberta Flack or Nina Simone shows up. (Seriously, this might be the most our Spotify queues have been influenced by a rewatch.) Naturally, we wander into side quests: our rankings of cinematic buddy duos, a brief tangent about how many spy movies would be ruined if the characters had iPhones, and Elise's theory that Cavill's Solo is basically James Bond on a heavy sedative. Somewhere in there we debate who in the group could actually pull off a 1960s double-breasted suit. Spoiler: not all of us. By the end, we're in Istanbul, the team's assembled, and we're low-key mad this stylish mess never got a sequel. If you're into slick visuals, flirty banter, and the occasional implausible stunt involving vintage cars, you might want to give this one another spin—preferably with a drink in hand and your sharpest spy outfit on standby. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1638355

Justin Timberlake BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.The past few days have seen Justin Timberlake step out of the global spotlight and into a time of recovery and honest reflection. Fresh off the triumphant final stop of his two-year Forget Tomorrow World Tour in Istanbul on July 30, Timberlake stunned fans and the industry by publicly revealing, via Instagram, that he has been battling Lyme disease. His posts described months of relentless pain, debilitating fatigue, and nerve issues that he first chalked up to age and the grind of touring. Timberlake said he kept his diagnosis private at first, but decided to speak out now to shed light on both the physical and mental toll the disease exacts, adding that the challenge had given him clarity about unexplained issues he'd quietly managed behind the scenes. According to People, it was his wife Jessica Biel who encouraged him to seek medical help when she noticed he was not himself, and she remains steadfastly supportive as he now focuses on rest and recovery with his family.Social media lit up with support. His Instagram Story, showing himself in a shirt reading “I'm not doing s*** today,” matched the mood—humor returning to the front now that the tour is complete and the health ordeal is public. His former NSYNC bandmate Chris Kirkpatrick praised Timberlake's “superhero” resilience, saying he'd witnessed another level of toughness as Justin powered through shows regardless of pain and exhaustion, a sentiment echoed by fans and music figures alike.Business headlines followed another big Timberlake move in Nashville. The Farm Nashville, a luxury golf venture co-developed by Timberlake and backed by 8AM Golf, just announced the acquisition of a total of 475 acres northwest of downtown Nashville, including a recent $7.5 million purchase, to build an exclusive, members-only course called Bounty Club. The company describes the membership as “highly curated,” adding another elite offering to the city's expanding golf scene. This isn't Timberlake's only Nashville enterprise—he also co-owns The Twelve Thirty Club on Lower Broadway, continuing to deepen his business ties to the city alongside his music career.On fan pages and Instagram, Timberlake was recently spotted, newly clean-shaven and in good spirits, drawing comments about his appearance and his return home. Hashtags like #jtlive25 trended as social accounts celebrated the marathon tour, while news outlets like US Weekly and AOL ran headlines emphasizing his openness about Lyme disease, the tour's emotional finish, and his next chapter of healing. No new music or film announcements have broken in the past week, but Timberlake's candor and resilience are driving the Justin Timberlake conversation as summer winds down. There is speculation from some music insiders that this health revelation and period of rest could reshape his future touring and recording plans, but nothing is confirmed. For now, Timberlake's story is about hard-won perseverance, a new chapter of self-care, and business ventures that keep him at the center of both pop culture and Nashville's social scene.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

Edition No219 | 08-08-2025 - Today marks the deadline for Trump's latest “final warning” to Putin. The White House says that no date has been decided yet on the much-hyped last-minute Putin-Trump summit. Remember today is last date Trump set to reach a ceasefire in Ukraine. That deadline has blown past, apparently with no consequences whatsoever for the criminal in the Kremlin. In today's episode we examine the grim and urgent reality: the delusions of a negotiated peace, and the collapse of diplomacy into spectacle, farce even, covering Putin's maximalist war aims without accountability, stolen children, oil black markets, and a world where every handshake is transactional and every value is negotiable. The world of Trump, where there seem to be no consequences for terrible behaviour. We will navigate this moral abyss.Have you noticed how Putin managed to wriggle out of this deadline yet again? Trump's latest and ultimate ‘ultimatum' seems to have been handled using the same trick, the same sleight of hand as the previous awkward situations for Putin. Using the same playbook, he used back in May, which has worked like a charge to make the harsh deadlines melt away. Back then Ukraine and Europe were demanding an unconditional 30-day ceasefire. Back then, Trump and Putin tried to close Europe and Ukraine out of the so-called negotiations, and the same thing is happening now. Putin proposed holding a meeting in Istanbul instead of agreeing to a ceasefire — effectively knocking the sanction weapon out of his opponents' hands with a counterproposal. And here we are three months later, and the same trick is being used to achieve the same effect. Don't expect Putin to stop erasing Ukrainian cities, however. ----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain----------DESCRIPTION:Fake Peace Process: Trump's Deadline to Putin & The Political Theater of Ceasefire NegotiationsIn this episode of Silicon Bytes, we dive into the latest in the so-called peace process regarding the Russia war against Ukraine. As Trump's ceasefire deadline for Putin passes with no consequences, we examine the manipulation, deceit, and geopolitical theater at play. From fraudulent negotiations and broken promises, to the transactional dealings and machinations behind the scenes, we uncover the grim reality of diplomacy turned spectacle. Join us as we analyze the situation in depth, including the role of Putin's maximalist war aims, the exploitation of international meetings, and the ineffectiveness of ultimatums without enforcement.----------CHAPTERS:00:00 Introduction to the Fake Peace Process00:22 Trump's Deadline and Its Aftermath01:14 The Grim Reality of Diplomacy01:53 Putin's Strategic Maneuvers04:13 The Illusion of Sovereignty04:33 From Ultimatum to Appeasement06:38 The Worthless Ceasefire Proposal09:03 Human Rights and Hypocrisy11:12 The Absurdity of Diplomacy15:02 Conclusion and Next Steps----------SOURCES: https://thehill.com/policy/international/5442747-john-bolton-donald-trump-vladimir-putin-meeting/ https://www.nbcnews.com/world/russia/russia-putin-trump-meeting-confirmed-ukraine-rcna223572 https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/08/07/putin-trump-summit-meeting-ukraine/ https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c1e02q12z32o ----------

Scepticism în Europa după declarațiile lui Donald Trump potrivit cărora șeful statului american se va întâlni cu omologii săi Vladimir Putin și Volodimir Zelenski, pentru a pune capăt războiului din Ucraina. Perspectivele păcii rămân îndepărtate, sunt de părere comentatorii. ”Există incertitudine în Europa cu privire la ce înseamnă acest lucru pentru Ucraina”, constată Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung: ”Kremlinul nu vrea ca Ucraina să participe la discuții”. Le Point constată la rândul său că șeful statului american și-a exprimat satisfacția față de întâlnirea dintre trimisul său, Steve Witkoff, și Vladimir Putin, descriind-o ca fiind „foarte productivă” și asigurând că va duce la „mari progrese”. Cu toate acestea, o întâlnire între Putin și Trump nu este încă definitivată. Perspectivele pentru Ucraina nu s-au îmbunătățit deloc, consideră ziarul belgian Le Soir: „Nici măcar președintele SUA însuși nu crede cu adevărat în efectul acestor amenințări, iar mediile Kremlinului încearcă deja să minimizeze amploarea măsurilor posibile. Oare ce truc va mai scoate Kremlinul din pălărie pentru a face furtuna să treacă? Oricum ar fi, perspectiva unei «păci juste și durabile» în Ucraina pare încă departe.” (Sursa: Eurotopics) Potrivit Politico, nu este clar ce înseamnă întâlnirea planificată cu Putin pentru termenul limită al lui Trump, care expiră vineri. Trump a amenințat cu impunerea de sancțiuni împotriva țărilor care cumpără energie rusească Trump a promis că va pune capăt războiului din Ucraina „în prima zi” a celei de-a doua președinții. Însă Rusia a blocat discuțiile de pace, înfuriindu-i atât pe negociatorii ucraineni, cât și pe cei americani”. ”Așteptările sunt scăzute pentru o soluționare până vineri - când expiră termenul limită al lui Trump”, apreciază și BBC:   ”Rusia și-a continuat atacurile aeriene la scară largă asupra Ucrainei, în ciuda amenințării cu sancțiuni din partea SUA. Pe măsură ce presiunea crește, Trump a semnat miercuri un ordin executiv care impune un tarif de 25% la importurile indiene, din cauza achizițiilor de petrol rusesc. Înainte de a prelua mandatul în ianuarie, Trump a declarat că va putea pune capăt războiului într-o zi. Conflictul a continuat, iar retorica sa față de Moscova s-a înăsprit de atunci. Trei runde de discuții dintre Ucraina și Rusia la Istanbul nu au reușit să aducă războiul mai aproape de sfârșit”. Iar în Polonia, Gazeta Wyborcza notează că ”oficialii americani ezită să discute detalii specifice. În timpul unei conferințe de presă președintele SUA a refuzat să spună cât de aproape sunt părțile de un acord privind încheierea războiului. „Nu vreau să vorbesc despre asta. Am mai fost dezamăgit”, a recunoscut președintele SUA. Când jurnaliștii l-au întrebat pe Trump dacă Putin îl minte, acesta a răspuns că va afla „în câteva săptămâni”. Anterior, pe rețeaua sa de socializare, Truth Social, Trump comentase întâlnirea dintre trimisul său și Putin, descriind-o ca fiind „foarte fructuoasă”.

Vineri expiră ultimul termen fixat de președintele american Donald Trump pentru ca Rusia să accepte o încetare a focului în Ucraina. Între timp, trimisul special al Casei Albe urmează să ajungă la Moscova. Presa internațională evaluează șansele acestei misiuni. După cum notează La Stampa ”emisarul Casei Albe, Steve Witkoff, este așteptat la Moscova, după ce optimismul lui Trump s-a evaporat odată cu eșuarea negocierilor ruso-ucrainene de la Istanbul. Termenul limită dat de Trump a fost scurtat de la 50 la 10 zile după recentele bombardamente ale Rusiei asupra orașelor ucrainene”. Ultimatumul expiră vineri, iar Andriy Yermak, șeful de cabinet al lui Volodimir Zelenski, a scris în The Washington Post că în această săptămână «lumii i s-ar putea oferi o oportunitate de a pune capăt războiului»”. (Sursa: Eurotopics). Publicația americană The Hill amintește la rândul său că   ”președintele este din ce în ce mai frustrat de faptul că Vladimir Putin i-a ignorat apelurile pentru un acord de pace. Ultimul termen limită pentru Moscova ar expira tehnic vineri, deși Trump s-a dovedit flexibil în ceea ce privește impunerea de tarife vamale asupra țărilor terțe”.   Potrivit analizei revistei Newsweek, trimiterea lui Witkoff ”este probabil menită să adauge o presiune suplimentară asupra Moscovei. Cu toate acestea, de la amenințările președintelui SUA, retorica de la Kremlin a sugerat că nu s-a schimbat  nimic în strategia de război. Witkoff, un magnat imobiliar, s-a întâlnit deja cu Putin de mai multe ori la Moscova, dar liderul rus a respins în repetate rânduri planurile americane de încetare a focului”. Potrivit expertului consultat de publicația americană, ”Putin nu este pregătit să oprească războiul și nu va renunța la cererile sale ca Ucraina să predea părțile rămase din regiunile Donețk, Herson și Zaporijia, pe care le are încă sub control”. Expertul a spus că ”accentul pentru SUA ar trebui să fie acela de a închide lacunele care permit Rusiei să genereze venituri din vânzările de petrol și că activele rusești înghețate ar trebui folosite pentru a finanța ajutorul militar pentru Ucraina”. Expertul consultat de RBC Ucraina nu exclude posibilitatea ca ”rușii să fi testat, prin canale diplomatice închise, propunerea de a discuta și de a găsi un teren comun. Witkoff va fi cel mai probabil folosit doar ca instrument. Spre deosebire de vizitele anterioare, este puțin probabil să transmită vreun mesaj de la Trump. Sarcina sa principală va fi să primească ceva de la Putin și să i-l transmită lui Trump. Aceasta ar putea fi foarte bine viziunea Rusiei asupra modului de a se pune capăt războiului - o propunere în baza căreia rușii ar fi dispuși să vină la masa negocierilor. În acest context, Politico observă că Vladimir Putin trage de timp. El ”ezită să răspundă ultimatumului lui Donald Trump pentru un armistițiu. Kremlinul continuă să încetinească orice posibile negocieri de încetare a focului cu Kievul, purtătorul de cuvânt afirmând că președintele rus Vladimir Putin „nu exclude” o întâlnire cu omologul său ucrainean - dar numai după ce se vor efectua „lucrări” încă nespecificate”.

"Taksim Square in Istanbul has a history of protests and social activism, most notably the Gezi Park 2013 protests, in which 22 people were killed and more than 8,000 were injured, many critically.  "Listening to the soundscape from Taksim Square, life is going on as normal, with bustling crowds, but periodically we hear a police siren, which echoes through the square almost like a spectral reminder of the police brutality, protest and suffering that the space has been witness to in the past.  "The siren swirls through the composition like a phantasm, reminding us never to forget the social context of the spaces in which we inhabit, while the music is intended to evoke a slightly unsettling sense as it loops, repeats, and builds." Taksim Square soundscape reimagined by Cities and Memory. Original recording by Anders Vinjar.

Vittorio and Alasdair are back to discuss Lazio's friendly double-header in Istanbul against Fenerbahce and Galatasaray. What did we learn about how Maurizio Sarri is building this team, and who performed well and badly? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Erich Auerbach wrote his classic work Mimesis, a history of narrative from Homer to Proust, based largely on his memory of past reading. Having left his physical library behind when he fled to Istanbul to escape the Nazis, he was forced to rely on the invisible library of his mind. Each of us has such a library—if not as extensive as Auerbach's—even if we are unaware of it. In this erudite and provocative book, William Marx explores our invisible libraries—how we build them and how we should expand them.Libraries, Marx tells us, are mental realities, and, conversely, our minds are libraries. We never read books apart from other texts. We take them from mental shelves filled with a variety of works that help us understand what we are reading.

Ankara is aiming to dodge President Donald Trump's threat of sanctions against countries that trade with Russia. While Turkey is the third largest importer of Russian goods, it has largely escaped international sanctions against Russia over its invasion of Ukraine. However, with Trump vowing to get tough with Moscow if it fails to make peace with Kyiv, that could change. “I am going to make a new deadline of about 10 or 12 days from today," Trump declared at a press conference on 28 July during his visit to Scotland. "There is no reason to wait 50 days. I wanted to be generous, but we don't see any progress being made.”  The American president admitted his efforts to end the Ukraine war had failed and that his patience with his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, was at an end. Turkish President Erdogan ready to rekindle friendship with Trump   Trump later confirmed 8 August as the date for the new measures. With US-Russian trade down 90 percent since Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Trump warned that other countries importing Russian goods would also be hit by secondary sanctions. “If you take his [Trump] promises at face value, then he should look at all countries that import any Russian commodities that is of primary importance to the Russian budget - this includes, of course, crude oil, and here you have China and India mostly,” explained George Voloshin of Acams, a global organisation dedicated to anti-financial crime, training and education. Voloshin also claims that Turkey could be a target as well. “In terms of petroleum products, Turkey is one of the big importers. It also refines Russian petroleum in its own refineries," Voloshin added. "Turkey imports lots of Russian gas through the TurkStream pipeline. Turkey is very much dependent on Russian gas and Russian petroleum products." Turkey's rivalry with Iran shifts as US threats create unlikely common ground   Since Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Ankara insists it is only bound by United Nations sanctions. Last year, Turkey was Russia's third-largest export market, with Russian natural gas accounting for more than  40 percent of its energy needs. Putin has used Turkey's lack of meaningful domestic energy reserves and dependence on Russian gas to develop a close relationship with his Turkish counterpart, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. “Putin knows that no matter what Trump wants, Turkey is not going to act in any military or sanctions capacity against Russia and Iran. You know, these are Turkey's red lines. We can't do it,” said analyst Atilla Yeşilada of Global Source Partners. “Trump is 10,000 miles away. These people are our neighbours,” added Yeşilada. “So Putin doesn't think of Turkey as a threat, but as an economic opportunity, and perhaps as a way to do things with the West that he doesn't want to do directly.” Ankara is performing a delicate balancing act. While maintaining trading ties with Russia, Erdoğan remains a strong supporter of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Turkey is a major arms seller to Ukraine, while at the same time, Erdoğan continues to try and broker peace between the warring parties. Last month, Istanbul was the venue for Russian–Ukrainian talks for the second time in as many months. Such efforts drew the praise of Trump. Trump and Erdogan grow closer as cooperation on Syria deepens Trump's pressure mounts on energy and trade The American president has made no secret of his liking for Erdoğan, even calling him a friend. Such close ties, along with Turkey's regional importance to Washington, analysts say, is a factor in Ankara's Western allies turning a blind eye to its ongoing trade with Russia. “I think Turkey has got a pass on several levels from Russian sanctions,” observed regional expert Sinan Ciddi of the Washington-based think tank the Foundation for Defense of Democracies. However, Ciddi cautions that Trump remains unpredictable and that previous actions are no guarantee for the future. “Past experience is not an indicator of future happenings. We just don't know what Trump will demand. This is not a fully predictive administration in Washington,” Ciddi said. “We do know right now that he [Trump] is very unhappy with Putin. He blames Putin for prolonging the Ukraine war,” added Ciddi. Change of stance "And if he feels sufficiently upset, there is a possibility that no waivers will be granted to any country. Turkey will be up against a very, very unappetising and unenviable set of choices to make.” Trump has successfully lobbied the European Union to increase its purchases of American liquefied natural gas (LNG), replacing Russian imports. Similar demands could put Ankara in a difficult position. “If Trump pressures Turkey not to buy Russian natural gas, that would definitely be a huge shock,” warned Yeşilada. “Trump might say, for instance: 'Buy energy from me or whatever.' But I don't think we're there yet. There is no way Turkey can replace Russian gas.” However, Trump could point to Turkey's recent expansion of its LNG facilities, which now include five terminals and have excess capacity to cover Russian imports, although storage facilities remain a challenge. Turkey's energy infrastructure is also built around receiving Russian energy, and any shift to American energy would likely be hugely disruptive and expensive, at a time when the Turkish economy is in crisis. Putin retains another energy card over Erdoğan. A Russian company is building a huge nuclear power plant in Turkey, which could account for 20 percent of the country's energy needs. Ciddi argues Erdoğan is now paying the price of over-relying on Russia. Turkey's Erdogan sees new Trump presidency as opportunity “There is no need to have resorted to making Ankara this dependent on natural gas, nuclear energy, or for that matter bilateral trade. This was a choice by Erdoğan,” said Ciddi. “The fact it is so dependent on so many levels in an almost unique way is something that Turkey will have to rethink.” But for now, Erdoğan will likely be relying on his expertise in diplomatic balancing acts, along with his close ties to Trump and Turkey's importance to Washington's regional goals, to once again escape the worst of any sanctions over Russian trade – although Trump may yet extract a price for such a concession.

A special episode from the Football Daily archives when in 2019 Rafa Benitez joined Guillem Balague to talk Istanbul, Tyneside & Madrid. [This is a re-versioned episode from the Football Daily archive. It was first published on the 25th April 2019]

Erich Auerbach wrote his classic work Mimesis, a history of narrative from Homer to Proust, based largely on his memory of past reading. Having left his physical library behind when he fled to Istanbul to escape the Nazis, he was forced to rely on the invisible library of his mind. Each of us has such a library—if not as extensive as Auerbach's—even if we are unaware of it. In this erudite and provocative book, William Marx explores our invisible libraries—how we build them and how we should expand them.Libraries, Marx tells us, are mental realities, and, conversely, our minds are libraries. We never read books apart from other texts. We take them from mental shelves filled with a variety of works that help us understand what we are reading. And yet the libraries in our mind are not always what they should be. The selection on our mental shelves—often referred to as canon, heritage, patrimony, or tradition—needs to be modified and expanded. Our intangible libraries should incorporate what Marx calls the dark matter of literature: the works that have been lost, that exist only in fragments, that have been repurposed by their authors, or were never written in the first place.

Justin Timberlake BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Timberlake has been at the center of major headlines this week, largely due to a dramatic personal revelation and the conclusion of a challenging chapter in his career. Wrapping up his two-year Forget Tomorrow World Tour with a final show in Istanbul, Timberlake took to Instagram to reveal that he has been quietly battling Lyme disease throughout the tour, describing the illness as relentlessly debilitating and explaining how it was responsible for the nerve pain, fatigue, and lackluster performances that fans and critics have noted in recent weeks. This was his most open admission yet about his health—he said that while he was raised to keep struggles private, he felt compelled to share in order to shed light on his behind-the-scenes battle and to create a sense of connection with both fans and others experiencing the disease. ABC News reports that his social media post has drawn hundreds of thousands of likes and brought widespread attention to Lyme disease, with many in the media and Lyme community applauding his newfound transparency.His announcement comes after significant backlash from fans, particularly following a viral performance at a Romanian festival where Timberlake was accused of phoning it in. The National and the LA Times both recount how video clips circulated on platforms like Instagram and TikTok, showing low-energy stage presence and little crowd engagement. Fans voiced an increasing sense of disappointment, with some demanding refunds and describing the shows as emotionally detached, especially compared to the vibrant concert experiences that are now the standard for major touring artists.Compounding this, Timberlake's recent personal history has also resurfaced: he had already postponed several shows last year due to health issues including bronchitis and laryngitis, and earlier this year he pled guilty to a lesser charge following a DWI arrest in the Hamptons, earning him a suspended license and community service. Despite these setbacks, Timberlake pushed through and completed the tour—a decision that he says was guided by the joy of performing and the desire to connect with fans, even as he now admits to being unsure what the future holds for his stage career.On the business front, the Economic Times pegs Timberlake's net worth at around $250 million, fueled by his diverse ventures including his William Rast clothing line, tequila brand Sauza 901, and various investments in sports and real estate. Social media continues buzzing over his health disclosure, with fans and public figures offering support as Timberlake hints at a new chapter of increased openness and possibly advocacy. The last few days have clearly marked a significant, if tumultuous, moment of transition for one of pop's most resilient figures.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

Your Daily Prayer

Announcement! Please join other podcast listeners for the next online BGTG Mini-Con, scheduled for September 6. I plan to be online from 9am-9pm Pacific time, including Discord for voice & video. The games will mostly be played on BoardgameArena, but adventurous gamers can also use Yucata, Brettspielwelt, Boardgames.io, Steam, apps, or whatever. It's free, and no RSVP or signup is necessary. Opener: Qwinto Closer: The SdJ awards ceremony, which we watched/listened to live on the drive back from a convention Over the years you've heard me talk about a number of game conventions. Usually that's recounting the games I played, and my enthusiasm for them in a 5-star rating. This time, I'm taking more of a meta approach to the topic. Yes, I'm still talking about a convention I went to recently, and some games played there, but half of the episode is about the idea of game conventions in the first place. The different types, which ones I prefer, and so on. Then the second half was recorded at a recent convention, meant to highlight the sort of fun, deep, not-so-serious discussions about the hobby and our shared experience in it. That's a lot of what I enjoy about game conventions--getting to hang out for continuous time with others who are just as geeky as I am about boardgames. I'm among my people! In this particular case, DaveO, Jonathan, Jeff, and SteveV join me to talk about games of designer Rüdiger Dorn. We concentrated on those for an entire day. This prolific designer has titles from 1992 to the present day. He's won the Kennerspiel des Jahres and been nominated for the Spiel des Jahres multiple times. Some of his most famous titles include Istanbul, Goa, Jambo, Traders of Genoa, and Louis XIV...none of which we played! Instead we tabled Dragonheart, Las Vegas Royale, Emerald, Montana, Rune Stones, My Farm Shop, Karuba, Arkadia, Danger 13, Mercado, Karuba the Card Game, and Diamonds Club. That was primarily with two groups playing all day long on two tables. It was the Dornücopia! At the last minute I thought a funny hat would be a great addition to our little event. While I couldn't find a cornucopia hat on short notice, I did find a corn hat. That was great!

In Istanbul, there is a mosque on every hill. Cruising along the Bosphorus, either for pleasure, or like the majority of Istanbul's denizens, for transit, you cannot help but notice that the city's landscape would be dramatically altered without the mosques of the city. In Ottoman Baroque: The Architectural Refashioning of Eighteenth-Century Istanbul (Princeton University Press, 2019), Ünver Rüstem takes a stab of a slice of that history, arguing that we should see the eighteenth-century Baroque period in Ottoman mosque architecture as innovative and not derivative in how Ottoman mosque architecture integrated Baroque elements. By doing so, he pushes back effectively against notions of Ottoman decline and demonstrates that such architecture, praised in the contemporary writings of both Ottoman and Western viewers, successfully rebranded the Ottoman capital for a changing world. He also draws our eyes to the complex social process by which mosque design develops, bringing in a cast of characters that includes non-Muslims as much as non-Muslims. On this New Books interview, we walk you through the book, Rüstem's process, what Baroque means in different contexts and mosque architecture in Istanbul today. Ünver Rüstem is Assistant Professor of Islamic Art and Architecture at Johns Hopkins University. Nadirah Mansour is a graduate student at Princeton University's Department of Near Eastern Studies working on the global intellectual history of the Arabic-language press.

The Calling to Reorient the Self How can the sacred be recovered in a world fractured by autonomy and fragmentation? In this deeply personal episode of Kainos on The Lectern, recorded during a session hosted by Alexander Beiner on Kainos, John Vervaeke shares reflections from his recent pilgrimage across Europe—what he calls the Philosophical Silk Road. Weaving through sacred conversations and historic locations, he explores profound ideas like theosis, theoria, and voluntary necessity, inviting listeners into a lived philosophy of sacred participation. From Istanbul to Rome to Amsterdam, each location becomes a catalyst for insight and inner transformation. Vervaeke challenges the Enlightenment's idolization of autonomy and points toward a new possibility: a spirituality of finite transcendence, rooted in embodied knowing and dialogical belonging. This episode offers a raw and unfiltered account of mystical experience, intellectual shift, and spiritual disorientation—all in service of rediscovering what it means to be in contact with reality, in its fullest, most sacred form.
